Curtis Mayfield A Prayer Lyrics

A Prayer Lyrics

A prayer, just what would I say?

Speak of those who're around

Who pray for you everyday



Everybody know we are just people

In the people's hands

Bless the soul of our man

That we might understand



All of my life

I've longed to be close

Nearer to someone

I thought would need me the most



Have no fear, your God is near

Just say a little prayer



Nothin' beats a failure but I try

With this one life to die for

I wanna satisfy with love



Just what would I do?

Allow your mind to improve

And keep yourself very, very clear

All can be forgiven



Now there's still hope for the living

Say a little prayer



Nothin' beats a failure but I try

With this one life to die for

I wanna satisfy



A prayer, just what would I say?

Speak of those who need your love

And who pray for you everyday



Everybody knows we are just people

In the people's hands

So keep a little prayer



Everybody knows we are just people

In the people's hands

So say a little prayer



  (Our Father)

Say a little prayer

  (Who art in Heaven)

Say a little prayer

  (Hallowed be Thy name, in kingdom come)

Yeah, yeah

  (Thy will be done, amen)
